The Six Pack Dad Tribe

If you’re working out 5–7 days a week and your waist hasn’t changed in months, hitting your health goals probably doesn’t mean cramming in another workout.

We talk to busy dads every week who are doing everything “right” to get in shape. They’re:

• Consistent in the gym
• Doing both strength training and cardio
• Trying to eat well
• Yet the scale hasn’t moved in months.

If you’re on this frustrating plateau, here are 3 reasons why your hard work may not be paying off like you expect:

1. Exercise Ramps Up Your Appetite

Exercise is great for you, but it comes with some unfortunate physical and mental drawbacks. Physically, it increases your hunger, which actively works against fat loss. In order to lose fat, you need to eat less. But eating less becomes nearly impossible when you’re hungry because hunger drives us to eat. You only have so much willpower when you’re hungry. 

Furthermore, exercise drive...

Walk into any supplement store and you'll see products promising to build muscle, burn fat, boost testosterone, improve your health, increase energy, and just about everything else.

How many supplement claims are legit? Can supplements move the needle when it comes to my health? What supplements should I take? What works and what doesn’t?

In this article I’ll answer these questions while outlining the four things you need to know about supplementation:

#1: Supplements are largely unregulated

As a result, supplement companies can make bold claims about what their supplements can do for you, like “may boost immune support,” without actually proving it works. They’re just hoping they tug on your emotions enough to buy into the claims. So don't automa...

You probably know someone who can eat literally anything and not put on weight. On the flip side, you also probably know someone who seems to gain weight at the drop of a hat. Why this occurs isn’t a mystery, yet most people think it is. I am here today to tell you exactly how to become that person that can literally eat anything and not gain weight.

Contrary to popular belief, those who gain weight easily are typically not genetically doomed with a slow metabolism. In fact, most people’s metabolisms are pretty similar (most guys on average burn around 2,500 cals per day) and remain consistent across their lifetime, until about the age of 65, where everyone’s metabolism naturally starts to drop. Your metabolism isn’t the problem, so what is?

#1: You’re Overeating and Not Realizing It

The first problem is you are overeating and not realizing it. After coaching hundreds of people in person and online over t...

1. Improve Insulin Sensitivity

One of the biggest barriers to getting lean is poor insulin sensitivity.
